Give me an album that's all killer no filler!

[MarkieMark]

Yeah, I wasn't really wondering, just commenting on the fact that all the others listed were basically 60s, 70s....maybe 80s. You know, TDPRI John stuff: 'The music I listened to in high school is the best music ever made. Hands down. Nothing of value has happened since.'

I think that for the true music fan, this is simply just a part of the human condition.
Being aware of it and expanding on that base comes with maturity of taste.

Beyond that, there are some good suggestions here. Some unfamiliar stuff I am inspired to check out too.
And some stuff that would make me take a hammer to the turntable.
(I have a related story I won't bore ya'll with right now)

But in the end, my opinion or taste doesn't carry enough weight for a simple fishin' lure.
Subjective.
And I am OK with that.

I'm sure Rumours has been mentioned but did you know Stevie Nicks was bitter for many years about the band's decision to leave Silver Springs off the album due to space constraints? A sign of a great album when a song like that gets cut.

One of the best, but I have a hard time with “Oh Daddy”.

Yeah I would've dumped that for Silver Springs in a heartbeat -- maybe to do with songwriter quotas.

Just so I don't get called a TDPRI John - Arctic Monkeys AM - from 2013! Amazingly strong and consistent album.

[Colo Springs E]

I'd probably call none of them 'perfect,' but there are multiple CAKE albums that I consider "very solid" where I like probably 75-80% of the album. They had a good run from 1994 to 2001.

Motorcade of Generosity ('94)
Fashion Nugget ('96)
Prolonging the Magic ('98)
Comfort Eagle ('01)

A little less well-known, how about some 70s British powerpop with a retrofuturistic twist?

Yup, the whole catalogue is essential listening, first is a bit spotty, but quite a ride from there.

I'm sure these have been mentioned before:

 

[TeleBackelaer]

I wonder if there have been any since 2000? Or 2010?

Songs for the deaf qualifies imo.

Alrighty then! My arm has been happily twisted to bring you this:

I get what you're saying. They're not so bad that they spoil the journey. I think there needs to be a distinction between good filler and bad filler

Neither are ”bad”. They are part an excellent, if not flawless, album.
At least for me.
